          2. Have some initial marching orders:

            1. Developers are collating all data fields that we currently collect across several webpages/utilities

            2. ACO will line out a proposed wireframe for how the login process should work

            3. ACO + Allocations will work on unified vocabulary that corresponds to the data fields

            4. Broader team will work towards a timeline and individual milestones

        2. Work to improve collection of ACCESS User Publications is underway

          1. Work ranges from minor edits to webpages across the ACCESS landscape to more opportunities to upload publications when engaging with the allocations process (e.g. when someone requests an Extension, Supplement, or Exchange).

        1. no updates

        2. John has sent out some wording that the PIs have put together - about resources in ACCESS and how to define them

        3. We will receive a short (couple of sentences) that covers what she has said verbally - ACSS resources, other national computing systems that NSF funded, are the priorities

        5. There will be 5 systems coming online this year - start working on integrating these resources now - they are all public record - no point to wait
